Hi all,
I'm applying for a PhD course in Early Medieval Archaeology, on assembly sites and social organisation in Early Medieval Northern England. As part of the application, I have to submit a brief plan of my intended research.

One snag: I'm currently out of academia and working in Poland.

A friend recommended this forum to me, to ask if anyone could forward me what JSTOR or another journal has to offer on the topic, so that I can brush up my knowledge of the current state of research on the topic.

Can anyone help?

Adam

People will probably be happy to find specific articles for you (to an extent) - why don't you have a search through google scholar and ask for any articles you really want to read? And we can decide if you are being too cheeky or not ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions Sneaks - here's a wish list, anything would be great:

Abels, R 1983, The Council of Whitby
Wood, I 2008 Monasteries and the Geography of Power, in Northern History
Aird, 2009 Companion to the early Middle Ages
Driscoll and Nieke 1988 "Power and politics in early medieval Britain and Ireland"
???Alcock, L 1981 in Evison VI: Angles, Saxons and Jutes - Essays presented to JNL Myres
Hope Taylor 1977 Yeavering: An Anglo-British Centre...
Scull C 1991 Post Roman phase I at Yeavering
Williams H 1998 in The Re-use of Ancient Monuments, World Archaeology vol. 30
Tinniswood and Harding 1991, Anglo-Saxon occupation... in Durham Archaeological Journal vol 7

That would be $19.99 each. Let me know plz.

whoah - well I have a load of analyses to be doing, but IF I find a spare moment I will have a look at 3 max.

I'm not expecting anyone to find all of them - I'm just trying to maximise chances of someone finding something! Thanks for any/all help...
Dispatcher - if I could afford that, I'd sign up for the journals online!

Hi Malachite - sounds like interesting research! PM me your email, I can get a few of those. Some of them are books - you might be able to read (parts of) them through googlebooks or amazon.
